Select Great Salespeople

Let’s keep it simple. A great salesperson has the genetic makeup to do the following tasks with minimal stress.

Find leads to put on a prospect list

Prospect leads for a set number of first appointments

Hold appointments and uncover the facts, needs, and problems of a prospect's situation

Present solutions, quotes, and close sales

Follow up to ensure customer satisfaction and to gain referrals

Use a personality profile

Quickly determine if a person naturally possesses the personality to do these skills well and with the least amount of forced stress. In other words, does the salesperson have the genetic makeup and personality to handle these skill areas in a competent manner? And, at what ‘power level’ can they do them?

Find Leads

Does the candidate have enough Recognition Drive, Assertiveness, and Deadline Motivation to get out among people and find leads in those social arenas appropriate for their market and for their Ideal Prospect? Do they have the confidence to approach centers of influence and build relationships? Will they assert themselves? Will they continually search for leads each month in order to have enough leads to prospect for first appointments? A personality profile predicts a candidate’s ability to naturally find prospects and network.

Prospect Leads

Will the candidate pick up the phone and make appointments? Do they have enough social skills, motivation to meet deadlines, and assertiveness to do this on an ongoing basis? Will they set enough appointments each week? Can they handle rejection?

Hold Appointments

Will they quote enough business? Will they ask for the business? Will they fight to get enough business completed to reach their sales goal? Will they ask about next steps? Will they follow up in order to win sales? Will they manage time and activities to get results? Will they want or desire to reach performance objectives? Will they seek to control the sale process, or will they allow the prospect to control it? Do they have the social confidence to present well?

Present Solutions

Will this person match up the needs with the services and products that fill them? Will they tell the prospect about both the features and benefits important for the prospect's situation and its improvement? Will they have the assertiveness necessary to suggest a buying action and attempt to close the sale?

Follow Up

After the sale, does the salesperson value service and making sure the product or service fills the need, solves the problem, or satisfies the wants of the customer? Will they have the amount of compassion necessary to make sure the customer was satisfied and to earn a referral because of excellent follow up? Will they ask for referrals?
